Sun "Java" desktop

On: Mad Hatter Preview - Sun Java Desktop System Demo

I've been awaiting my cd since SUN first posted the whole "Mad Hatter" blurb. By "live CD" am I to understand this is the same deal as Knoppix?
I installed Knoppix as a lightweight debian system
by running "knx-hdinstall" at the console. Any such
install possibilities with this puppy?

How true and the point in the article about the unavailability of high speed access in rural areas turning people off is valid. In Maine you can be a few miles off the grid and be screwed.

You've totally overlooked Debian Libranet which has an easier install than Mandrake, fantastic hardware support and the power of apt-get. Makes my old IBM laptop (Coppermine) faster than my Powerbook..
